"I don't envy you, I can't play this role, even if I remove my beard," @ikamalhaasan sir told @iamRashmika at the #MSBiopic launch event in his signature wit. 😄

He honored #MSSubbulakshmi amma as 'India's first Pan-India Lady Superstar'.

With Kamal sir giving the first clap, this project is already off to a great start! 🎬 Plus, hearing him share that MK Gandhi-Hey Ram trivia at the launch event made it even more special. ❤️

அனைவரின் இல்லங்களும் உள்ளங்களும் மகிழ்ச்சியால் நிறையும் கிருஷ்ண ஜெயந்தி திருநாளில் அனைவருக்கும் எனது மனமார்ந்த நல்வாழ்த்துகளைத் தெரிவித்துக் கொள்கிறேன்.

அநீதிக்கு எதிரான அறம் வெல்லும், எத்தகைய சூழலிலும் கடமை தவறாது செயல்பட வேண்டும், தர்மத்தின் வழியில்
மன உறுதியுடனும் நம்பிக்கையுடனும் வாழ்க்கைப் பயணத்தை முன்னெடுக்க வேண்டும் என்னும் ஸ்ரீகிருஷ்ணரின் உபதேசங்களைப் பின்பற்றி உயரிய வாழ்வியல் நெறிகளுடன் அன்பும் அறம��ம் தழைத்தோங்கும் நல்லுலகைப் படைத்திடுவோம்.

The fact that a video of a woman simply going about her day can spark political hysteria tells you everything about the fragile, regressive mindset behind it. But I’m not surprised! What else can you expect from followers of a leader with a track record of deeply derogatory remarks against women?

For the record: the woman in that video is not me. But even if it were, why should it matter?

Why are a woman’s clothes, appearance, or joy still treated as matters for public trial?

When they can’t challenge us on our policies, governance, or track record, they resort to manufacturing narratives about personal lives of leaders and their family members. Misogyny is the oldest weapon of those who have nothing substantive to positively contribute.

And, To the woman in the video, dragged into this simply due to a passing resemblance: I’m sorry. You look stunning, and I hope you keep living on your own terms (and loving those highlights! ✨).

I pray to Agathiyar everyday and found out this amazing Agathiyar temple at Chitthikapakkam. How I found that temple, a miracle will be written in a book someday, by Gods grace! A call for help came from a responsible person from that temple. Somehow the intuition asked me to reach out to Dr Ravi Prasad. He was magnanimous and kind enough to make sure the bed whatever they needed is delivered within a week. I wish and pray Dr and his family, a healthy and prosperous life. Love you Doctor!

திரையுலகமே என் தந்தையின் உலகம் என்றிருந்து, பின் அது எனக்குமான உலகமாக இன்னும் அகலமாக விரிந்து
ஒரு குடும்பமாக நெருங்கி, உயர்வான உறவாக உருவாகிவிட்டது.
விழுது மரமாகுமுன் விழுந்துவிட்ட ஆலமரமாய் என் தந்தையை இழந்த அன்று நான் பற்றிக்கொள்ள படர்ந்த அன்புக் கரங்களாகவும், தடுமாறிய என் கால்களை தாங்கிக் கொண்ட பூமியாகவும், வெடித்து விடுமுன் எனக்காக துடித்த மாற்று இதயமாகவும் இருந்த/ இருக்கின்ற / இருக்கப் போகின்ற திரையுலக ஜாம்பவான்களுக்கும், நண்பர்கள் அனைவருக்கும்
நெஞ்சம் நிறைந்த நன்றியைத் த���ிர வேறென்ன சொல்லி என்னை நான் சமாதானபடுத்திக் கொள்ள? 🙏🏻

[Kamal Haasan @ikamalhaasan]

Congratulations to Shri @narendramodi ji on becoming India’s longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister. In a diverse democracy like ours, sustained public trust is a significant feat. May our collective focus remain on India’s progress and the welfare of our fellow citizens.

I extend my sincere gratitude to the Hon'ble Prime Minister Thiru @narendramodi Avl for his kind wishes on my assumption of office as the Chief Minister.

Our sole objective is the welfare and progress of our people. We look forward to the active support and cooperation of the Union Government for the continued growth of Tamil Nadu.

[Sansiddh Jain @sansiddh]

MK Stalin is 73 years old. He will be 78 when the next Tamil Nadu elections are held in 2031. Suffice to say, he will probably not be CM ever again.

Pinarayi Vijayan is 80. Will be 85 in 2031. Even if the Left continues to be a dominant political force in Kerala (it has been declining precipitously in India), he will probably not be CM again.

They join a long list of stalwarts of South Indian politicians who have probably served their last day in the CM's office, or are serving their term and will find it hard to get re-elected.

- KCR (K Chandrashekar Rao) : He is 72. He will be 75 come the next Telangana elections. Even if BRS manages to win that election, expect him to groom KTR to take over the reins very soon into his term.

- N Chandrababu Naidu : He is 76. Will be 79 during the next state elections. Even if TDP wins, will be very hard for him to serve the full 5 years from 79-84 years of age. Expect him to hand over the reins to Nara Lokesh in the next term.

- BS Yeddyurappa : He is 83. BJP will go gung-ho to win the 2028 elections in Karnataka come what may, but they are not going to back an 85 year old as CM face. He has had his fair share of conflicts with the BJP high command, so expect him to be pushed to the sidelines as well.

- Siddaramaiah: He is 77, going to be 80 by the time of the next elections. DK Shivkumar is dying to be CM of Karnataka, and he would have been had it not been for the Congress high command. He is also going to be "sunsetted" by the time the next elections arrive.

- EPS (Edappadi K. Palaniswami) - He is 72. He is not going to become CM this time. Vijay will never align with the BJP-AIAIDMK alliance. He will be 77 by the time the next elections take place in 2031. Surely the AIADMK dispensation would want a fresher, younger face to lead the alliance the next time.

We are entering unprecedented territory - several stalwarts of south indian politics who have defined the politics for decades, if not generations will go into the twilight around the same time. "Chaos is not a pit, it's a ladder" said one Petyr Bailish on Game of Thrones not so long ago. This is probably the time when we will see fresh faces emerge, unexpected political events happen, and see younger, talented politicians make hay when the sun shines. We've already seen a massive turnaround in Tamil Nadu with Vijay's superstar showcase. Expect to see even more of that in the coming few years.

So happy to see this :) God bless!

To Vembu’s long post and reposts appearing on my timeline- I want to say-

I came. I saw. I left.

I came back to India after living abroad for 11 years.
I lived for 7 years in India.
I left 18 months ago.

[Arun Vaidyanathan @Arunvaid]

Amen! Although I love the intention behind this, it’s not easy to uproot the next generation where they consider America as their home. A point to ponder!

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:

Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.

Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.

You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.

Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.

Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.

As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.

Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu
